4.5 stars! Try Me (One Night with Sole Regret #1) by Olivia Cunning

Melanie has no desire to meet the members of the rock band, Sole Regret, but her groupie of a best friend gets them both backstage and then rushes off with the band’s lead singer. Left alone at an after party with a bunch of scary tattooed and pierced metal-heads, sheltered Melanie is relieved when the only normal-looking guy in the room insists on keeping her company.

By the time Melanie discovers that Gabe is the band’s drummer and not as normal as she assumed, she has already made a complete fool of herself. She can’t help but be interested in him, not as a rock star, but as the sexiest man she’s ever encountered. Strangely attracted to his hidden tattoos and body piercing, she wonders what it would be like to spend a night with a bad boy.

Gabe is more than willing to show sweet Melanie there’s more to him than meets the eye. All she has to do is try him. Will they only share a single night of passion? Or will their hearts entangle as quickly as their bodies?

I finally read Olivia Cunning and OMG. Novella fucking love. Rockstars. Tattoos. Toe curling make you pant sex. A promise of more. *Ung* Sooo goood.
Alright, so, after a traumatizing experience Melanie is freaked out by guys with tattoos and because she just can't say no to her best friend she's landed herself at a rock concert and back stage with a tattooed, pierced up group of rockers and in a gloriously impressive foot in mouth moment she meets Gabe. The drummer. And doesn't realize it's him as she mouths off a bit about the band much to Gabe's amusement. And sparks are flying everywhere.

Gabe was yummeh. He's hiding some geektasticness under his rock star persona and has some brilliantly pervy hobbies that would make any girl really, really happy and he's just a laid back guy that gets his world rocked by a slightly snooty accountant that's trying to get over her fear of tattoos and to let loose a bit. I really liked em both. Melanie, it took me a little bit to get on board with her because she's a little close minded and judgy at the start but she grew up and changed her tune nicely as the night went along.

Again the hint of his tattoo above the waistband of his low-slung jeans caught her attention. Again she couldn't fathom what it was. She reached for his belt. He caught her hand.

"Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the ink on my back first. The one on my hip might be too much for you to handle."

She chuckled. "Oh really?"

"There's no way to show it to you and keep my cock in my pants."

She snorted with amusement. "Oh no, I definitely wouldn't want that."

I just had a great time with Try Me and Gabe and Melanie's one night together after the rock concert. It was a lot funnier than I was expecting and the sex scenes were incredible. Always a plus, right? It's not a full HEA when it ends but has the potential for that and the two show up again later in the series so pretty excited about that. If you like rockers and just need a good sexy fix that gets hot and heavy and a little dirty you need this one.
